Womack spent 4½ seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks, but became expendable because of the strong showing of young infielders Matt Kata and Alex Cintron, along with the return of Craig Counsell.

GIANTS ACQUIRE YOUNG FROM BREWERS

The San Francisco Giants acquired second baseman Eric Young from the Milwaukee Brewers for minor-league pitcher Greg Bruso.

Young, 36, was hitting .260 with a career-high 15 home runs and 31 runs batted in during 109 games this season.

MARINERS ACTIVATE CIRILLO

The Seattle Mariners activated third baseman Jeff Cirillo from the 15-day disabled list.

Cirillo went on the disabled list July 24 with a partially dislocated right shoulder. He also strained a muscle on the left side of his back during a rehabilitation assignment at Triple-A Tacoma last week.

Cirillo, 33, is hitting just .210 (52-for-248) with two home runs and 22 RBIs in 76 games this season. He lost his job earlier this season and didnt start Tuesdays game against Toronto.

The right-handed Chacon earned an All-Star berth this season, but missed the game after being placed on the disabled list July 1. His 11 wins are the most ever by a Rockies pitcher before the All-Star game break.
